Summary
The majority of past research on marijuana treatment has targeted the alleviation of
withdrawal symptoms. Minimal focus has been placed on how altering craving effects may play a
role in treating marijuana addiction. Treatment with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main
ingredient in marijuana responsible for its reinforcing effects, may decrease marijuana
cravings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of THC pre-treatment on
responses to marijuana-related cues versus non marijuana-related cues in individuals addicted
to marijuana.
